December 2, 2010 Family Worship
I read this quote today and wanted to share it here. Richard Baxter is one of those old Puritans that has influenced my life and thinking in a big way. His book The Reformed Pastor is something that I truly believe every pastor needs to read. It is not just for the Senior or Lead pastor but for the Student, Children, Worship Pastors.
Baxter said this about family worship:
We must have a special eye upon families, to see that they are well ordered, and the duties of each relation performed. The life of religion, and the welfare and glory of both the Church and the State, depend much on family government and duty. If we suffer the neglect of this, we shall undo all…. I beseech you, therefore, if you desire the reformation and welfare of your people, do all you can to promote family religion.
May our families continue to grow closer to Christ together in their homes and not just a one hour gathering on a Sunday morning.
